Stop a Stupid Mistake!!!!

OK, I am finally getting ready to purchase some things and i want to make absolutely 100% sure that these two things are compatable. I want to find out if the POD 2.0 can hook up to my computer with a Audiophile 2496 sound card. Somone told me before that the POD 2.0 had an analog output...will this sound card take it? Here are the specs of the sound card....

Applications Include:
• 24-bit 96 kHz multitrack recording
• MIDI recording and playback
• Digital transfers; Digital mastering
• LP/cassette-to-CD transfers
• Computer-based Home Theater systems
• Computer-based Hi-Fi systems

Specifications:
• Dynamic Range: D/A 104.0dB (a-weighted), A/D 100.4dB (a-weighted)
• THD: less than 0.002%
• Freq. Response: 22Hz - 22kHz, -0.4,-0.4dB


And just a litle extra....
The Audiophile 2496 is an all-in-one high fidelity soundcard solution for a wide variety of applications, ranging from multitrack recording to computer-based home theatre. Analog I/O is available on RCA jacks, utilizing the same professional 24-bit, 96kHz conversion as the Delta 44 and Delta 66 cards. S/PDIF I/O and MIDI I/O provide connectivity to both digital devices, and the world of MIDI. You can also utilize the S/PDIF I/O for DVD surround sound playback with an external decoder. The Audiophile 2496 includes a powerful digital mixer/router, and control over SCMS (Serial Copy Management System). Delta Series cards support all computer platforms and major software programs.


So if you could tell me if the POD could utilize this because i have no idea what all this means...


Thanx!!!!!

It isn't that difficult as you think: If you're soundcard has a line input, you can use your POD with it.

And because I don't know any soundcard without a line input I would say: give it a go!

the Pod will hook up to the Audiophile.....just get the right cord, as the Audiophile has RCA inputs.....

now if you get a Johnson J-Station, it will hook up to the S/PDIF of the Audiophile and youll still have the 2 analog inputs free.......

So getting the right cord...do you mean getting a cord that has an RCA with a 1/4 mono jack at the end? Or does the pod also take rca...thanx for anymore info!

POD outputs are on 1/4". The Audiophile has analog inputs are RCA. As far as S/PDIF goes, the POD 2.0 don't got it so it's a moot point. If you have a S/PDIF device though, you can use it simultainiously with the cards analog inputs.
